Hi Helen! Out there, it seems like it was too easy. Mind you I say that without having caught any myself :) Hi Moya! Thanks! Unfortunately, there was a little more than dry retching to be had but glad that I could take you there in spirit after the fact :) Hi Jenny! Sorry to hear it, thanks, and if you ever encounter such an experience yourself, preparation is key. Not just with the motion sickness but also the potential for sun burn :) Hi mademoiselle délicieuse! Seems like we journeyed down the same road. My condolences :) Hi Katherine! Thanks! Fishing is great when the fish are large and biting in numbers :) Hi Trisha! The bream was pretty good. Had I had my way again, I'd do it a little differently though. Hi Ninja! The fish halves I was fine with. It was the rocking that did it for me. It's ever a wonder why babies don't get motion sickness when they get rocked. Can't tell you what the pig fish was like. It was the only one we had we didn't cook, as I wanted the person who had caught it to savour it himself. Hi Y! Thanks, and sorry for bringing on a sense of seasickness.

Dinner looks pretty darn good! I felt a bit seasick just from reading your post – suffice to say, deep sea fishing is one of those things I love the idea of, *in theory* !

Nice bait shot…but I suspect looking at fish halves swinging pendulously in the breeze wouldn’t have done much for your wellbeing.

At least you got to eat on land…was the piggyfish tasty in the end?

oh that fried bream looks absolutely delicious… not to mention the fact that it’s fresh off the day’s catch! I feel for you though… I get motion sickness so quickly you won’t have time to run and grab for a plastic bag before I make my little “accident”. Glad you still had a great day though

I absolutely love fishing. This is so cheap and its a great way to go out and enjoy the day with some friends. The food looks delicious. Fresh fish. Yum

I thought I’d grown out of my childhood motion sickness tendencies during my early teens, but I was proven wrong on night cruise of the harbour a couple of years ago – and I wasn’t even concentrating on anything like fishing!

I started getting queasy just looking at the pictures rocking back and forth with the beautiful blue water in the background. Thank you for bringing this to us – I could almost smell the salt in the air, and then I thought about how bad I am on a boat…had to go get some ginger ale for my tummy.
Beautiful fish, too!

Why do I have a sudden yearning for fish and chips? With garlic pilaf, hehe! Great story, I could smell the salt in the air and hear the waves breaking against the boat and dry retching from the head!

Hurrah for fishing success! Ones that didn’t get away!
